JERUSALEM, April 2 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a four-day visit to Hungary on Thursday, defying an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over allegations of war crimes in Gaza as Israel has expanded its military operation in the enclave.

As a founding member of the ICC, Hungary is theoretically obliged to arrest and hand over anyone subject to a warrant from the court but Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made clear when he issued the invitation that Hungary would not respect the ruling.

it's expected for orban & hungry; it's odd for france or germany to do the same thing.

Only odd till you remember its isreal.

Due to history there is an unwillingness to accept any action against isreal.

Its understandable. Especially for germans. But also very wrong amd needs to be addressed.

Fuck knows how though.
